About Childhaven Community Nursery School

Childhaven Community Nursery School holds the highest possible Ofsted rating, with its most recent ungraded inspection in June 2024 confirming the school remains Outstanding. This is no surprise given its track record: the previous graded inspection in 2015 also awarded Outstanding across the board, and the 2012 inspection did the same. In fact, Childhaven is one of only three nursery schools in the whole of North Yorkshire to hold an Outstanding rating, and it is the only one of those three to have maintained that grade across every single inspection on record. The most recent inspection specifically rated early years provision as Outstanding, alongside leadership and management. For a nursery catering to children aged just two to five, that early years judgement is the single most telling metric — it covers how well staff support children’s learning, development and welfare from the very start of their education.
